BELCAT PRESERVED PLANTS

BelCat plants are natural plants that have been treated by a special, 100 % eco friendly preservation liquid.

The Thuja tree, also known as cedar, has become very popular with interior designers in recent years. It has a special decorative purpose and is used to create welcoming spaces with a fresh touch and a unique naturalness.

Thuja is perfectly combined with other plants but can also fill its own spaces. Just place it in an ornamental pot and place it anywhere in your home and you’re done. Although it is most commonly found in the more country and rustic interiors it also very much suits the boho-tend, industrial and minimal interiors not to mention the Mediterranean style.

ABOUT THE THUJA PLANT

Thuja is a genus of coniferous trees in the cypress family. There are five species in the genus, two native to North America and three native to eastern Asia. Members are commonly known as arborvitaes, (from Latin for tree of life) thujas or cedars.

Thuja are evergreen trees growing from 3.0 to 61.0 metres tall, with stringy-textured reddish-brown bark. The shoots are flat, with side shoots only in a single plane. The leaves are scale-like 1–10 mm long, except young seedlings in their first year, which have needle-like leaves. The scale leaves are arranged in alternating decussate pairs in four rows along the twigs. The male cones are small, inconspicuous, and are located at the tips of the twigs. The female cones start out similarly inconspicuous, but grow to about 1–2 cm long at maturity when 6–8 months old; they have 6-12 overlapping, thin, leathery scales, each scale bearing 1–2 small seeds with a pair of narrow lateral wings.

The five species in the genus Thuja are small to large evergreen trees with flattened branchlets. The leaves are arranged in flattened fan shaped groupings with resin-glands, and oppositely grouped in 4 ranks. The mature leaves are different from younger leaves, with those on larger branchlets having sharp, erect, free apices. The leaves on flattened lateral branchlets are crowded into appressed groups and scale-like and the lateral pairs are keeled. The lateral leaves are shorter than the facial leaves.
